I did!! 🚙 But they said I had to go to California to pick it up So if anyone in the US can drive it to the port in New York for me, I will give you 100L 🤑 Also, if anyone in the UK can collect it from Holyhead and drive it to London for me, I'll give you 50L 🤑 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope he doesn't want it back because I've already spent some of it! Isn't it nice to get a little windfall though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Luv Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, SpiritSparrow Skydancer said: what is that? It is a UK savings scheme where you can put up to £50,000 in, and every month they do a prize draw, and you can win anything between £25 and £1 million. It's like the lottery but you never lose your money, though you don't earn any interest either...the winners are picked by a robot called ERNIE.

Just to add, it's the government's National Savings and Investments scheme. There are savings accounts as well as the tax-free monthly cash prize draw. The minimum you can invest is £25 into Premium Bonds. 3 hours ago, Quartz Mole said: Gentle reminder not to let the thread drift off into a discussion of First Life lotteries, contests and so on. Back to the topic then. Someone surely must know who won that car. The person who won that car surely wouldn't have opted for no publicity, and someone surely would have followed the rules and sent an email to the competition promoters for a list of winners, because there were other prizes too of course. Is such a prize draw classed as gambling, a game of chance, or a skills game? As per American laws. It might be nice to have a weekly Linden Lab organised lottery draw, some money go into the Relay for Life charity perhaps and the rest in the prize pot for Marketplace vouchers perhaps.

I remembered there was some discussion in this forum at the time about the privacy implications of the sweepstake, and once I'd recalled that, it did't take long to find the thread and a link to the rules. For what it's worth, it seems to me that if the winner wanted to publicise their good fortune inside SL, they could easily have started a thread here about "Whoopee! I Won the Car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't start this thread though, and am not all that interested really, except there is a little cynic that lives inside of me that wonders if the prizes behind some competitions actually really do exist or if the winners are real. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
